GM's closing threads?

I've never seen it though I haven't leved in a party yet.
Also the effects are pretty good in this game. What are you comparing them against to say other wise? Most magic is actually wisp effects. Like what we have now.

Does anyone know why they instantly close the thread?

I was thinking they close those threads to keep the forums clean, but by closing those threads they're completely cutting off people that could have a solution from helping. Since we have no private message system in the forums or Lodestone, I really don't see how people could contact a user to help them with their problems.

Anyhow, if anyone could possibly help me with a graphics glitch here are a couple links explaining the problem:

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...e=179122&ref=1 <-- Lodestone Blog with pictures

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Graphic-Glitch <-- Forum post with my computer specs

If anyone could help, I would sincerely appreciate any advice.

Thanks so much,
~L.A.

They want to hide the fact the game is a technical mess.

Yeah, I figured that too but they don't delete them, so they're not doing a great job in hiding it. Oh well.

Anyhow, to the graphics look bad and dude models... I appreciate your input but this really isn't the thread for that. There's no need to come here and complain about something that's not to your liking. This thread is a legitimate graphical issue as well as very concerning actions against SE's GM staff.

So please make posts that can contribute to this problem being fixed. ^^;

The same thing happens to me in other games including FFXI when my graphics card begins to overheat. Have you tried running the game in full screen mode, turning down the graphics settings, or increasing your GPUs fan speed?

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions!

In my forum post I state that this is not a heating issue. These graphical problems occur with my card clocking at high and low temps. I've never seen anything like this anomaly in any other game I've played.

I have also tried running this game with lowest settings, highest settings, fullscreen and windowed. Same problem. ^^;

Has to be a software/hardware/OS conflict somewhere then. It looks like the .DDS/.DAT sheet the game is reading from is improperly handling the alpha layers of the background and rendering them improperly. As I said before, this has only happened when my card overheated or a game had been running a long time so my situation might be different. Good luck.

I'm beyond thinking it has anything to do on my end, because I know many other people having this issue. I'm planning on doing a full uninstall and reinstall; what concerns me with this method is I don't believe the files are corrupted or I'm missing files because the effects show up when I'm very far away and very close up. So the effects are there.

Anyways I'll keep you all posted on this, and see if this helps to fix the problem!

The actual uninstall/reinstall will take longer haha. Its against the TOS to modify files so i cant provide any possible solutions that relate to that, but ofc reinstalling will recreate the files, the downloader wont install all updates they have specific patches you will do. So its quite quick to reinstall.
